New Super Mario World sounds awesome. Cake world? That has potential.
Nintendo Land is sounding more and more awesome. Both will be day one for me.

HOLY MOTHER, no wonder I got a Super NES, that Genesis sound card was fucking TERRIBLE.
Ehhh, I was commenting on the poor quality of the joke Ragnarok was trying to make, actually.

Metroid Blast will be great if you can play it online. Wait, who am I kidding? This is Nintendo we're speaking of here. 
double fail, damn.
anyways...

If it's anything like NSMB Wii, it shouldn't.
I liked NSMBW much more with one player. I thought it was OK with two players, but it seemed to be enough of a downgrade that I never bothered with 3 or 4 players. I'm not trying to toot my own horn or anything, but I'm just a lot better at the platformer genre than most of my friends, and it's just not much fun for me ... I never really learned how to enjoy the game while playing with somebody at another skill level like some people did. I don't have this problem with most other genres... it just didn't work with platformers for me.
But I guess this all besides the point: I agree, online mode would be cool, but I'm not expecting it. If the Wii U ever takes off like the Wii did and my parents get suckered into buying one, at least I could convince them to play with me online since we don't live in the city. That would be fun for more casual games, especially with voice chat and such. I enjoyed the few times we played in person a lot too. It's too bad Nintendo will probably continue to cater to the nuclear family, but here's to hoping.
Edit: thought you were talking about NSMBU
He was talking about Nintendo Land which does seem multiplayer focused, for the most part. I'm sure some can be enjoyed solo.

Will we get a space world...with proper suits?
...please? ;____;
EDIT: Seriously though, bring back the pigs!
having recently finished Mario Land 2 via eShop, I am actually surprised I've never heard this tune in any other game besides this one.
The OST of that game is amazing!
What? Not at all. The level design is quite diferent in the two. The Wii game openly structures most of its levels around the benefits of multiplayer, while the 3ds entry is a streamlined affair built on coin sequences and tricky bonuses. I could tell apart a segment from a level of either quite immediately even if it didn't reveal any of the unique items or features in the latter.

Huh, I like it! Sounds like it could have been in Kirby's Adventure.
This, the (amazing) Athletic theme & Wario's Castle are crying to be used in more things, but it's as if Nintendo doesn't really like acknowledging the Land series.

sounds good
NSMBWii levels are built more like crosses between SMB3 and SMW while NSMB2 feels more tuned towards SMB3.
NSMBWii also had better new ideas like the bone coaster.

Oh, hah. For some reason I totally missed this thread was about Nintendoland, too. My bad.

A real cover story would have been exclusiving pricing and in depth info about the system.

I think Nintendo should be the first ones to know.
Anything else interesting from the articles about Wii U so that I can add to OP?

Metroid Blast looks hot. I'm closer to buying this thing if it doesn't get packed in.

I was over at a friends house today and we played this PS move game called Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest. It reminded me alot of Zelda Battle Quest from nintendo land and honestly, if battle quest plays anything like deadmund's quest, I'm sold on nintendoland from that mini game alone

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO,
The new Super Mario U sounds like a real sequel to Mario World that I have been waiting for.
BUT... its going to have that damn New Super Mario"bawp, bawp" SHIT music.
I fear that I will be unable to stomach my way through this.
I really hope they wake up and change the god damned music. How long can they ride the exact same music? Its just getting ridiculous.

Blame the music composers, not the sound card.

Exploration just shouldn't come at the expense of platforming, which happened with SMW.
I would have paid good money for:
Wii Golf
Wii Tennis
Wii Bowling
Wii Archery
These games could have been 19.99 on the shop channel and just fleshed out ever so slightly....and made trucks off money.
Also, OP is missing this vital piece of info:
Finally, some damn variety! Cake World...
Oh my damn. Everything except Sparkling Waters sounds great.

dammit i gotta go to GS now, i wanna see these
The info sound pretty great, tbh.
My problem with the NSMB games though is with the controls.
I've only played the Wii one, but since i played it just after having spent several days on Super Meat Boy, i remember being extremely pissed off by the controls, had to somewhat wrestle with them, there was something unresponsive about them, but i haven't played it in a while, so it might've been just the juxtaposition with MeatBoy that, in this sense, is as tight as it gets.

Good times!
NSMBU is such an odd case.
Prior to NSMBU, none of the "New" titles excited me... At most, I had fun in multiplayer with the Wii one and respected its level design, but it didn't capture my imagination... But with NSMBU, I was in love literally from the first glimpse in the pre-E3 Nintendo Direct.
Those slanty mountains. That acorn tree. That Van Gogh. Those colors. The very subtle shading and shadows they added. It's so many details adding up. And it's in HD, thank goodness.

It's not just that, but the game seems a lot more ambitious overall. You can really tell with every new video/screenshot/info we get. The dev team is really trying to raise the bar with this one.
And a spiritual successor to SMW is long overdue I'd say.
